Thomas enjoyed 2 weeks of uninterrupted peace with his beloved before getting busy with the task of suppressing the rebellious tribes from the west end. Almera settled into their new home which was far away from the reach of the Dowager Duchess interference and watchful eyes. She spent her days between the Dulston manor and their new estate, the love garden estate. Aldrin was a constant visitor as Ferran was the chief cook. Mira's days were also idyllic. She finished her work for the week and completed the blanket for themselves. She embroidered little angels with a floral pattern on the four corners. It was simple yet looked divine. Friday was Mira’s favorite day of the week. Firstly, she gets to chat with Almera and secondly, she gets paid…. Makes her a step closer to her goal. As usual, Almera was ready with bucket loads of gossip. She told Mira all about how Aveline rushed to the Amberton estate under the pretense of being her best friend only to be ridiculed by the Dowager Duch
Oden lowered his head respectfully as he watched the carriage move away before going back in. “Lady Marsden is very quick-witted, I am impressed.” Samuel laughed as he praised unreservedly “I didn’t mean….” “No need…” Mira laughed “One learns to survive when among vultures.” “This???” He pointed curiously at the root in her hand. “My little gift for you.” She walked back into the kitchen and came back with a whole bunch. “For helping me take revenge with the price.” Mira giggled innocently. Samuel watched the innocence with the affection of an elder while Oden returned with an expression to say he escaped from the clutches of hell but soon changed to an indifferent expression as he realized Samuel’s sizing gaze was on him. “But what will I do with this?” Samuel looked helplessly at the roots. He had not seen them before. “Then how about I make something delicious for you while you wait? Do you have time?” Mira smiled “This is the first crop; we were going to harvest during the
The next morning, Mira was busy with preparing the 5 rabbits Jack had skinned for a rabbit stew when she heard the cacophony of chatter from the front. She didn’t wait for the voices to become clear and ran to the barn where Jack was cleaning. “Someone’s outside.” She gasped, her eyes reflecting her fear. Jack had finished cleaning and was washing his hands and feet. He quickened his pace. He came up to her and hugged her comfortingly “I am here.” “It must be Big brother and second brother.” Jack chuckled to lighten her mood when he saw that she was still shaking. “No… no…” Mira shook her head “There’s many …. Many people.” “Let’s go take a look then.” Jack kissed her forehead and comforted “This is our house. I am here.” “Um” Mira nodded, regaining her composure; She raised her head and smiled sheepishly. Jack hugged her closer chuckling ‘His wife was too cute!’ The doorbell rang by the time they came into the kitchen. Mira’s face blushed further as she recognized the thunder
After everyone left Mira and Jack went to check on the traps that they had set. Heavens were truly merciful. Four of the traps had pheasants in them. Jack carefully took them out of the trap and handed them to Mira who threw them in space. The rest of the week went blissfully with Mira completing the work on the three cloths for Almera’s sister-in-law. But it was not the same for others. Jason was wholeheartedly playing the dutiful fiancé while keeping Alina happy. Alina on the other hand managed to recruit Lotta into her web. At first it was a harmless catch up; they had a common ground, were both illegitimate children who couldn’t share the glory of the light of day. Slowly, Alina started enticing her into the web by telling her sob story of how the one man she loved had his heart stolen by Mira and then how she mercilessly ditched him. Lotta could relate. Being an illegitimate child, she could never have what she wanted and had to be content with what was given to her. From the ti
Mira seemed to be stuck in her nightmare. She woke up the next day on the cold ground of the apartment. The same spot she fainted at the day before when Jason kicked her down. She knew she couldn’t wait for Jason and had to get someone to help her father. The first person she thought of was her godfather even though she hadn’t spoken to him in years. Although her godfather had the façade of a farmer, she knew that, that was not all he was about. She borrowed money from her neighbors who were also her companions in the last 6 months. Although they were also scrapping the bottom of the bowl to make ends meet, none of them hesitated to lend Mira all the coins they had even though they knew that Mira would never be able to pay them back. What they didn't know was, that this was the last time they would see her. It was said that the onlookers understood better; Yes, they understood the fallacy of Mira’s lover’s love, but they weren’t heartless to point it out and tear the poor girl’s he
“Jason….” However, what awaited was not a heartbroken man running towards her to take her in his arms but a disdainful voice “Not dead yet?” “Why?” Mira raised her head painfully with every ounce of her strength. She wanted to know why but she couldn’t hear anything that the person in front of her was saying as she could hear another pain filled voice calling out to her…. asking her to wake up…. begging her not to leave him alone… promising her that he would always stay by her side. Mira wanted to look around her as she knew this sound…... she felt that a lifetime had passed since she heard this voice…. She wanted to leave this miserable place and rush towards the voice calling out to her. As Mira struggled to rush to the voice, she found her herself sitting up in bed, sweating all over…. Jack was sitting next to her trying to wake her up. Her eyes met his worried eyes and all the restlessness from her dreams magically settled down. That’s right… fate had given her another chance t
Hours earlier- The Sleghs decided to end the workday at 10 and start the feast for all workers. Office workers had a different area to farm hands and outdoor workers. The masters often mingled in both areas to improve their image among the workers. There was a reason to start the celebration early, the Sleghs were not a generous bunch. Old master’s shrewd mind was behind this. He had heard from Lotta that Jack and Mira came to the city together on Friday. He didn’t want to take a chance to create an opportunity for Jack to escape and deny his daughter her last chance. This early arrangement was on the off chance that Jack had arranged with Mira to come early. He had checked with Jack’s supervisor and was informed that Jack had only stayed for 10 or 15 minutes in the previous years. Jack packed up and went to toast his supervisor and request permission to leave. The three Slegh masters came up to the supervisor just as Jack finished toasting. “Won’t you toast a drink with us?” Cole
“I will ask you one last time, are you going to investigate what happened to my husband and restore his good name?” Mira tried to lift Jack from the ground as she stood up. “Get lost.” Old master yelled in rage. Caster was staring smitten at the beautiful lady in front. She suited his taste very much. His lips curled up as he thought of his next prey. He turned his head to nod at John and Oden who were standing stuck to the ground. John and Oden rushed to Mira side and carried Jack. “I will take two of your workers to help me carry my husband to my cart.” Mira curled her lips arrogantly “How much does the old master want to claim as compensation?” “Lady, I know you are upset.” Caster spoke with a gentle smile “But that is no reason to be rude. My workers are helping you. There is no payment for help.” “Dare to write that down and not penalize the unfortunate worker who helped later?” Mira was like a wounded tigress. Attacking anyone and everyone that came her way. She also had an
